Monitoring activity of an individual

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, devices, and systems to monitor activity. One method to monitor activity includes monitoring activity of an individual including detecting a sensor activated by an individual during the individual's daily activities. The embodiment also includes comparing the sensor activation to a predetermined sensor activation timeframe, determining whether to initiate an alert based upon the comparison, and checking for at least one other sensor activation to confirm whether an alert should be initiated.

1. A method using computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium executed by a processor for monitoring activity of an individual, comprising:
grouping a number of sensors into a first group associated with an activity of daily living of an individual and a number of sensors into a second group associated with the activity of daily living of the individual; monitoring the number of sensors in the first group to identify activations of at least one sensor in the first group, wherein activations of at least one sensor in the first group indicate performance of the activity of daily living; associating a number of rules defining a number of actions to be taken based upon activations of the at least one sensor in the first group; and applying a rule associated with the activation of the at least one sensor in the first group to determine whether to take an action, wherein the rule includes checking for at least one other sensor activation of at least one sensor in the second group to confirm whether the action should be initiated, wherein activation of at least one sensor in the second group indicates performance of the activity of daily living and activation of another sensor in the second group indicates that performance of the activity of daily living has ended.
